25.01.2022 Christmas special! Do you have a friend with a pet (dog/horse)? Why not give them a gift voucher of Nurturing Touch? Gift vouchers are $50 and includes one therapy session (Cairns area only).

25.01.2022 Here is a few food items that are a big NO for dogs. I know I know, they give you those puppy eyes but it is still a no as it really can cause some damage. - Anything Containing the Sweetener Xylitol. It just gets too quickly absorbed. - Onions, Garlic and Chives. They contain thiosulfate which is toxic for them - Grapes and Raisins. as they can cause kidney failure

25.01.2022 Yes, my new tool for bigger animals (horses, cows, etc) has arrived! Can't wait to test drive it this afternoon, woot!

21.01.2022 Question time :) What would you like to know?

20.01.2022 what would your dog say?

20.01.2022 This made me laugh

19.01.2022 If you visited my website you probably wonder why all those different therapies and what they do? Each one is unique and helps with different issues. Here is a good article about the Neuro=myofascial Release Technique and what it can help with. https://www.holisticanimalstudies.org//what-is-animal-neur

19.01.2022 Last day and then we are off on a holiday, spending a week at Dingo beach (and yes, our dog us coming along, lol). It has been a while and I am lookkng forward to a break. What are your plans for this weekend?

19.01.2022 Happy international dogs day (apparently there is such a thing lol) <3 Zanko is my first dog. He is a gentle giant, loves to play and is in love with his teddy

18.01.2022 A wonderful weekend, one on one training (Craniosacral Therapy) from 9-4 both days <3 It was amazing and can't wait to translate it into the body of animals :) What did you do this weekend?

17.01.2022 Is your dog getting older, maybe getting up not as quickly, or in general need of some remedial massage? Maybe your horse is getting a stiff neck lately. Like us humans, our animals can get tight muscles and "sticky" fascia. Book in for a consultation and therapy to come up with a treatment plan. https://nurturingtouchnq.com/contact/

14.01.2022 What was your last pet photo you took? Zanko at our fabourite dog walk at Yorkey's knob.

12.01.2022 Mine is in the comment

12.01.2022 what is your favourite pet name? I loved our "chicken" eggy, except the she turned out to be a he! The name was even funnier after that

10.01.2022 What is TMJ? it is the temporomandibular joint that allows the mouth to open and close. It can be out of alignment, especially if your dog likes to carry big sticks! If your dog gets ear infections often, this could be one of the causes. If the horses TMJ often is out of alignment it is probably a good idea to check the teeth :) Make an appointment if you think your pet would benefit from a TMJ massage.

09.01.2022 Like us humans, gut health in dogs is vital. A few tips: - no grains - variety diet, you can even include fermented vegetables! - add occasionally bone broth - raw bones will keep the teeth healthy... PM me if you like some more tips on great food items for your dog.

09.01.2022 Did you know that the cervical vertebrae on a horse aren't on the top of the neck? (picture from Holisic Animal Studies by Angelique)

09.01.2022 Are you more a dog or a cat person? I am both Are you more a dog or a cat person? I am both

09.01.2022 A new tool coming soon!!! I can't wait as it is awesome for: - treating Post-surgical Wounds - relieve Pain & Reduce Inflammation - cellular Rejuvenation... - faster muscle recovery - increase Blood Circulation - promotes Healing See more

09.01.2022 I love my job! Fingers crossed the front leg of this big fellow improves

08.01.2022 "I felt terrible after a massage..." has said no one What is good for you is also great for your pet. The Myo-Manipulative Functional Therapy is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue to eliminate pain or restore motion. I generally start with Swedish Massage to relax the dog. Depending on your dog’s need I incorporate Gua Sha to release scar tissue, Shiatsu to balance the dog’s Ki energy and Aroma Therapy.

06.01.2022 Zanko was not a happy chap yesterday and unfortunately I didn't bring my therapy stuff with me. Being half German Shepherd, his hips aren't the best. He had too much beach time and was in pain by the end of the day So we went to the vet to assess and get some pain relief until we are home and I can work on him

04.01.2022 One of the things I look when I evaluate a dog or horse is if one muscle is smaller than on the opposite side. This is called atrophy and can be caused by disuse or nerve damage (disc for example). In the picture below (from Angelique's animal studies) you can see the left hind leg looking smaller (fewer defined muscles, atrophied).

04.01.2022 If you could have any animal as a pet, what would you choose?

03.01.2022 When you chose your forever dog, make sure it has the temperament that suits you. If you have a family and a busy life then a Border Collie is probably not the right fit as they need long walks and lots of stimuli. Some breeds are great as a first owner, others need a bit more experience. If you don't like hair, poodles are great options as they don't shed ;) And don't forget the rescue organisations, they may just have the perfect pet for you <3

02.01.2022 A phone call of a new client started with "you came highly recommended" <3 Thank you for recommending me! Each animal is different. Some are here to get pampered, others are in need to reduce pain and aches. I deeply connect with the animal but sometimes it needs more than just one session. Like us, it took a while to get there and it will take a while to get out of it :)

02.01.2022 A tip - if you have a puppy, introduce it to the postie so it won't bark every day when the mail arrives :)

02.01.2022 What do you feed your dog? I do a weekly meal prep, fresh dig mince, lots of vegetables and lentils. I add some coconut oil on the day and some tumeric.
